Baader CMOS-Optimized 3.5nm H-Alpha Ultra-Narrowband Filters
Lower 48 States:
Orders over $50 ship free within the Lower 48 using a carrier and service we select based on your items and delivery location. Faster shipping options may be available at checkout.
U.S. Outside the Lower 48 (AK, HI, PR):
Free shipping on orders over $50 applies to many—but not all—items. Add items to your cart and enter your ZIP code to see available shipping options and any costs.
International Orders:
Free shipping does not apply to international orders. You’ll see available shipping options and costs during checkout. Some items can’t be shipped internationally due to size or manufacturer restrictions. Duties, taxes, brokerage fees, and tariffs are not included and are the customer’s responsibility.
Important Note About Torn Baader Filter Seals:
Recently, Baader started applying a new filter label on many filters that goes over the edge of the case and also acts as a seal. Unfortunately, these labels rip far too easily during transport, giving the false appearance that the filter case has been previously opened. Many filters we now get from Baader arrive like the ones shown in the photos below, and many others will rip en route from us to you. Rest assured that ALL filters we ship to you are brand new and unopened as received from Baader, whether the seal is intact or partially/completely ripped.

Baader has agreed to revert to their old design of 2-piece labels, but until they use up their current labels, we will continue to have this problem for a while and you might also get a mix of different filter label types. Thank you for your understanding.
- Baader H-alpha Ultra-Narrowband Filter – Premium Grade
- 3.5 nm FWHM (to harmonize the exposure time with O-III / S-II), recommended for optical systems from f/10 to f/3.5
- For highest contrast even at strongest light pollution, minimizes star size, emphasizes finest nebula detail – indispensable under Bortle 9/8/7/(6) skies
- Reflex-Blocker™ hard coated and planeoptically polished – with sealed coating edges (Life-Coat™)
- Blackened edges all around, with filter-lead-side-indicator in the form of a black frontside outer rim
- Optimized for modern CMOS cameras, but excellent for CCD camera technologies
We explicitly warn against observing the sun with a DeepSky 6.5 nm (equivalent to 65 Ångstroem) H-alpha narrowband filter, specialized solar chromosphere and prominence filters from SolarSpectrum start at 0.8 Ångstroem. Photographic experiments with a camera are theoretically possible, but by no means observe the sun with naked eyes – you endanger your eyesight!
This new generation of Baader CMOS-filters features:
- Increased contrast
- Ever more narrow passbands
- Reflex-Blocker™ coatings, for largest ever freedom from halos, even under most adverse conditions concerning aux-optics
- FWHM on each filter category carefully designed to allow for 1:1:1 exposures, matched for typical CMOS quantum efficiency and s/n ratio
- Identical filter thickness to existing standards, with utmost care for parfocality
- Blackened edges all around, with filter-lead-side-indicator in the form of a black frontside outer rim, to additionally eliminate any reflection due to light falling onto the edge of a filter
- Each filter coated individually, with sealed coating edge (NOT cut out of a larger plate with coatings left exposed, read more)
- Life-Coat™: evermore hard coatings to enable a non-aging coating for life – even in a most adverse environment
